-1 ... I think the engineering, maintenance, and runtime cost of a
test like this would never pay for itself.  The thing you would wish
that a regression test could catch is adding a new TOC field that is
effectively required while failing to use ReadRequiredStr for it.
Which a test like this wouldn't.
